razer diamondback dpi...

by rapture • 4 Mar 2008, 13:24 • Journals
once again, technical question:

using the new, old razer diamondback now (my alltime favourite mx300 finally broke).

i'd like to know, if and if yes how i can reduce the dpi to 400? in the driver options i'm apparently only able to set wether 1600 or 800. before i search on, probably someone of u knows instantly!

2nd question: is there a "best" amount of hz for that mouse and ET?

thank you and have a nice day


random stupidity:
i took off 1 week of work to learn for the exam of today.. bad news: i didnt sign for the exam - so its useless. thats why i can bother about mouse settings and stuff atm -_-

800hz are best

400 dpi - 500hz (though the 400dpi can only be set by using OLD razer drivers, prob the ones on your razer cd, cause the new drivers only support 800-1600dpi)

yeah that's the one i'm using aswell, never experienced any problems etc. (btw something like windows sens 8 + random gamesens is mostly used with 400dpi and 500hz but you'd have to figur that out yourself...)

i can do it at the end of april, but its just fucking frustrating. i was studying today morning the last 10 pages or smth when i just wanted to check how many guys signed for the exam (wanted to get a feeling how full the room will be). and then i recognised. phoned @ university, but no way i can take part of it.

just silly, i mean i took 1 week off from work ffs. i could have imagined better "holidays" though :D

i spent the whole semester reading that shit subject i forgot to sign up for (biology of plants, uber boring and difficult to remember shit).

at least you can remember what you have read, april is 1 month from now, its not a really long period tbh. I will forget everything ive read about my subject in a week or two... whine :'(

well my mx300 was alive the last, lemme think, 6 years! its just the materials that give up after such a period of intense gaming - mousefeet aint fine anymore - sensor lags sometimes - buttons get loose etc... its still working though, but not the way i want it to work :D

To have an equivalent of 400 dpi, put your mouse @ 1600 DPI in drivers and 3rd sensitivity notch @ windows (= sensitivity 4 in regedit = ratio 1/4 = 1600/4 = 400 DPI) OR @ 800 DPI in drivers and 4th notch @ windows (ratio 1/2)

About the hz: 500 should be fine. (It doesn't handle 1000).
